Albany Engineering Co Ltd | Rotary Gear Pumps | Twin Screw Pumps

Albany manufacture a huge range of external gear pumps for a wide range of applications. Capacities range up to 2273 l/m. Pumps are available as either horizontal, vertical or tank top mounted units. Typical applications include:

• lubricating & fuel oils (to 40 Bar pressure)
• road tanker pumps
• heated pumps for asphalt, molten sulphur
• high temperature liquids
• molasses
• viscous resins
• fire foam compound, including a range of pumps with VdS approval
• corrosion resistant pumps

Twin screw pumps became popular as the world’s appetite for oil grew. Excellent suction performance and pulse free flow gives a wide application range. The oil and marine industries found that twin screw pumps were the best for cargo handling and that the wide ranges of viscosities often encountered with hydrocarbon liquids could be efficiently pumped at all temperatures.  The characteristics of screw pumps are:

• low shear rates
• handle high and low viscosities
• can be specified to have good gas handling characteristics
• almost pulsation free
• excellent suction performance with NPSH as low as 0.5m
• screws are hydraulically balanced
• seal chambers are at inlet pressure.

Albany now own the rights to the Stothert & Pitt range of twin screw pumps. These grew out of a license from Houttuin Pumps of Holland in the 1930′s. Albany manufacture direct replacement Stothert and Pitt pumps, rebuild old pumps and supply spare parts all from Stothert and Pitts original drawings and records. 

At Albany, we have also developed our own new range of twin screw pumps. We have valued engineered the range to represent a cost effective modern screw pump drawing on all of the learning from the Stothert and Pitt range.  Albany screw pumps feature the following:

• Capacity up to 1000m³/hr
• pressures are generally to 25 bar, some to 50 bar.
• Pumps are available with either, internal or external bearing configurations
• steam heating/water cooling jackets if required
• horizontal or vertical mounting.
• Pumps to API676

We provide comprehensive pump services to a variety of industry sectors.

Our professional pump services include:

• Spares parts service for Albany Pumps and Stothert and Pitt pumps
• Commissioning and installation service for our pumps to meet prepared pipework, including laser aligning where needed
• Repair service for Albany products and other manufacturers
• Design service to customise our products to meet user requirements
• Programmed maintenance and service contract on many Albany Pumps in the UK

Our lobe pumps boast capacities up to 350m³/hr, pressures to 25 bar. With internal bearing configuration with either 3:4 or 7:8 rotor lobe configurations, including steam heating jackets if required.

A lobe pump will typically suit applications including heavy crude oil, fuel oil, molasses, sugar syrups, soap, paint, and very high viscosity products.
 

Our centrifugal pumps have capacities up to 300m³/hr, pressures to 200 psi. They are available as either horizontal, or vertical mounted units.

Our centrifugal pumps have typical applications including aviation fuels, salty formation water, slop oil, fresh water, seawater, and low viscosity petroleum products.
